Have you ever met a celebrity?

When I was four years old, I met Christopher Reeve, you know, the actor who played Superman. It was at my older brother's college graduation and I was sitting on my father's lap in the last seat of the aisle when he making his way to the stage in his wheelchair.

I was laughing at a funny face my dad made when he paused next to me and gave me a smile, probably because I was cute little girl in pigtails. Yet, the 4 year-old me had no idea who he was, so naturally, I burst out crying because a strange man was looking at me. Heh.

So, my question is, have you ever met or been in close proximity with a celebrity before? If so, who, when, and where?

Yes 54
No 34

        They gave a concert close to where I live, and me and a friend and her boyfriend went to see them. It was pretty fun and actually my very first concert.

    I've met Dom Deluise, Penny Marshall, Monica Belushi, the late Jack Klugman, John Voight, Mickey Dolenz(Monkees), Ron Howard, and others. I used to work with the airlines and a lot of them took flights I worked. I also have a classic car that I used to rent out for commercials and movies and met a lot that way.

    • (and after showing her where they were I legged it because I was a little embarrassed and went all shy and red...had never come close to anyone famous before. My boss was behind the counter and finished the purchase with a smug look on her face-something to boast about later I guess)

    I know a man who used to work around celebrities a lot. He has some really awesome stories.

  • A few. I used to paint a top fuel car for one of the NHRA guys. Also met one of the Supreme Court Justices several times. He's actually a good friend of my boss.

    A lot of people that most won't have heard of (Ian Hislop, Andy Cole, Jeremy Clarkson) but I suppose the biggest, although I wouldn't call him a celebrity, is that I shook hands with Prince Charles.

      I know who Jeremy Clarkson is. How is he? I heard he was a douche =/

        Yeah, he cultivates a public persona that makes him look a twat whereas the reality is that he's an even bigger twat than he appears. Everyone thought he was acting up for TV. What he's actually doing is being on his best behaviour.

        I've met him twice at car shows (yeah, I go to car shows despite never wanting to own a car) where he was a bit knobby but my parents met him on holiday and he threatened my dad when he tried to take a picture. Turned out later that he was cheating on his wife and was probably even then with his fancy-woman and didn't want pictures getting into the press.

  • Charlie Day. I never gave any outward sign that I knew who he was; I dunno why.

    For some reason I get a certain satisfaction when people think I'm stupid/unaware.

    Nothing face-to-face but Paul Telner did message me back and forth on YouTube. If YouTube celebrities count.
    I was starstruck. So i think it does.

    Yes, I have met several celebrities, depending on how you define "celebrity", but I'm not going to tell you the four w's that you asked for. I reserve that for my close personal friends.

    I got kicked out of a Chuck Palahniuk reading for drinking beer and heckling him. Fuck you that counts.

    Leslie Nielsen. But he gave me 3 dollars for taking his umbrella to the coat check, so I hardly count that as *meeting* a celebrity.

    I met Lou Ferrigno when I was in Hawaii many many many years ago. He got his feathers all ruffled because I asked for his autograph.

    Also just recently, a few months ago, I met Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons. They were on my same airline flight. Very gracious and nice people.

    I've only ever met famous politicians. They aren't that exciting. Oh, and I went to school with one of the members of Papa Roach.
